Maybe if it was "just" a giant monster movie, I would agree. But it's not. It is much more. It's the KING of the monsters. And yes, he has an iconic theme. An iconic theme that is absolutely the wrong tone for that trailer.

Honestly, before you said it, I didn't even realise the music was there. It's really not that evident, and hardly the most iconic music of 2001 I remember.

And the "meant for a limited audience" thing is bullshit. This "leak" and the takedowns are all part of the marketing.

Actually it's not. Apparently the reason it was exclusive and is being taken down is because the family of Robert Oppenheimer didn't approve of his quote being used.

Even though, you know, the quote perfectly encapsulates the story of Godzilla. Garreth Edwards has wanted to release it, and indeed may be the one behind it (he said he was the only one with the actual video)
